Dual Domains, Gravity Pressing Down

After finishing the barbecue.

The six packed their gear and officially set off toward the entrance to the second level.

At the end of the Underground River.

A massive arched stone gate stood there.

Twisted runes were carved into the gate, emanating a faint pressure.

"This is it."

Kurapika reached out and touched the stone gate.

It was icy cold.

"Beyond this gate lies the second level of the Beast King Domain."

Leorio cracked his knuckles.

"Let's go! Let me see just how fierce the second level is!"

He was the first to step through.

Thud.

Killua walked in as well.

He staggered for a moment, then steadied himself.

A trace of cold sweat seeped from his temple.

"Tch. Interesting."

Kurapika stepped through the stone gate.

His chains instinctively swung once.

"The gravity is twice that of the first level. Every movement will be suppressed."

Genos walked in, blue light flickering in his eyes.

"An abnormal gravitational field has been detected. Its value is 2.1 times standard gravity."

"Mechanical structures are unaffected and can operate normally."

Saitama entered last.

He stepped through the gate.

Then looked around.

"Hmm? What's with all of you? Why
